Suprise draw is fine by me. Depends if people on the GM team want to play with their mate that they are bringing? If that makes sense? Like Hammer and Captainron might wanna have their mate as partner? Thats fine by me if so.

We could do betterball matchplay for the GM vs HDID? Bit like Ryder cup on a small scale . Tie breaker for a draw could be stableford total points?

My theory was coming to meet different people, i play with him weekly
Random draw for me.

Agree, the purpose of thes meets is to meet new golfing geeks. random draw for me too,. but keep it GM v HDID.

Sounds good to me then fella :thup: We could always do a random draw then and if people are paired with people they already know they can switch if they want to keep it fresh

so long as im with somebody who knows how to do the matchplay/strokeplay combined with 3/4 stableford off 7/8ths im not bothered.

I assume course is fully back open after all the snow etc? Whats the roads like around there too? Is there anywhere to avoid or is it all clear now?

Bradford is fully open road wise and the majority if not all course will now be open Birchy, Harrogate is 15 mile away so I would guess that is fine.

Firstly... thanks Roy for Marc's money.... we are now complete all ways around :thup:

I know its a Sunday and traffic will be pretty light but even so, for what its worth coming from the West, I think I'd be going right around Leeds on M62 to the M1 then the A1 up to Junc 46 at Wetherby then on via Knaresborough to Harrogate. Appears to be 14 miles longer but will be a much more comfortable drive with less speed cameras. Nick... you're just M1, A1 to Wetherby.

Was passing today so picked up some cards but forgot to ask any details about course condition/work etc, but folk who were there on Mon report that the course is very impressive for the time of year & a real test of golf with no hollow-tines, greens bit bumpy but quickish, & a shortened 18th to allow work on pond. However with a bit of luck the latter will be finished by Sun. I guess an advantage of playing at the weekend, along with the main members, is that they'll do all they can to open as much of the course as possible.


After pretty full consultation, best Format would seem to be....
1. Draw for playing groups at Spoons (probably) ie. 2 HDIDo & 2 GM...... I can pre-group the draw cards to get a good mix
2. Individual is Stableford off Full Handicap
3. HDIDo+ mates v GM+ mates Team Match............ to be Total of each team's Stableford points... seems to make sense as we're all trying to get as many as we can & it cuts out any MatchPlay rules problems & the 3/4 Handicap difference if we were B/Balls.
4. Nearest Pin is the 10th... a 120 yd par 3
Hope every one's happy with that
